OUAT Entertainment launched a mystery-fueled hidden object game - Murder in Provence, which follows the likes of Pretty Simple Games’ Criminal Case and Zynga’s Hidden Shadows, and is filled with hidden object scenes and puzzles that players must complete to reveal the game’s secrets.

Murder in Provence follows a young woman on a search for her sister that quickly turns far darker than the case of a missing person. The game’s story progresses in a linear fashion, offering new hidden object scenes and puzzles one right after another, but also encouraging players to repeatedly completely hidden object scenes to earn stars.

These stars unlock puzzles, including tile swapping puzzles and logic puzzles, and players can purchase clues using coins if they get stuck. This brings a revenue stream to the game, as players can spend real money on virtual and premium currency, as well as additional energy used to complete activities. Murder in Provence also forces players to wait to unlock new scenes as the hero character “travels” within the story, but this too can be sped up with the use of real money.
